No Players Will Take Shortcuts”!

work!

Building the Team and Developing Your System of Play

A. The Key to most Great Teams is Goaltending. Your Team
Will Play with Confidence and not be Afraid to Make a
Mistake. However, They Can Not Keep the Puck Out of the
Net by Themselves.

B. Team Defense, the best Defensive Teams are Consistent
Winners
1. Every Player on the Team can contribute to Team Defense
2. Players must be “Unselfish”
3. Coach must make sure that the players understand the
System of Play
4. Players must play with discipline. Always be on the
defensive side of the puck
5. Develop a “Hunters Mentality”. Pressure the Opponent,
especially if they have the puck and their back is to the play.
Outnumber them at the point of the puck down low when
possible
6. Good Defensive Zone Play begins in the Neutral Zone with
good Positioning and Communication on the Backchecking
Situations
7. All Players must be willing to get into Shooting Lanes and
BLOCK SHOTS

C. Team Offense begins with Great Team Defense in all Zones
1. Backchecking
2. Creating turnovers by pressuring the puck when your Team
does not have it.
3. Quick Transition from Defense to Offense
4. Offensive Zone Attacks
a. Attack all 3 lanes with speed. Center Lane Drive at ALL
TIMES
b. Defenseman must join the attack and create a second wave
of attack opportunity
c. ALL Shots must hit the net
d. Players crashing the net must communicate to the Puck
Carrier
5. In Zone Positional Play
a. Attack with “Width”. Spread the Coverage to Create Passing
Lanes
b. Second Man try to prevent “short side reverses”. Don’t let 1
pass beat 2 forecheckers
c. Always try to outnumber the opponent at the point of the
puck, especially if the puck carrier has his back to the play
d. Non-possession puck situations, make sure there is a high
man
